Jason is here!

Jason Ezekiel is here!  I know I haven't posted in a really long time, and I left you hanging at the worst time possible.  I apologize.  Life has been pretty hectic.

Anyways, Jason was born on Saturday, Oct. 6th at 4:28 am.  He was 7 lbs. 6 oz. and 21 in. long.

On Tuesday, Oct. 2nd I started having irregular contractions.  Then, that night I started my bloody show.  I was still having irregular contractions on Wednesday.

Thursday was when I was able to actually time my contractions.  They would jump around a little bit, but for the most part they were five to seven minutes apart.  I got checked on Thursday and I was two centimeters dilated and almost completely thinned out.

On Friday, my contractions got more intense and they were closer together.  They were three to five minutes apart.  I went to my OB that morning, and I was three centimeters dilated and again almost completely thinned out.

My OB then said to go to the hospital because he thought I was close enough and that I would have a baby within 24 hours.

We arrived at the hospital around noon on Friday.  They then started pitocin around one and two in the afternoon.  I labored for the rest of the day and night.

On Saturday around 2:30 am, I started pushing.

Finally, at 4:28 am on Saturday, Oct. 6th, 2012, Jason Ezekiel was born.  He is a healthy baby boy.  His doctor says that he is perfect.

He had an appointment on Wednesday to check his weight, and he was already 7 lbs 5 oz.  On Monday he had been 7 lbs 2 oz.  He is an excellent eater, and a pretty calm baby.  We are extremely lucky and happy with the family that we have.
